Pizza
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack.
For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
When proofing dough, coat dough with olive oil and cover bowl tightly with plas-
tic wrap to prevent crust formation.
Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in
transferring the dough to the pan.
If par-baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.
If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a
non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
Preheat baking stones while the oven is preheating.
Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in center of the rack.
Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza mode.
Proof
Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.
The Proof mode temperature range is 85 ºF to 110 ºF.
Loosely cover the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of
the container.
Keep the door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.
Warm
Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot until ready to serve.
Warm mode temperatures are 140 ºF - 220 ºF.
Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
Do not use the Warm mode to heat cold food.
Be sure to maintain proper food temperature. The USDA recommends holding
hot food at 140 ºF or warmer.
DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.
á
In the Pizza mode, heat from the lower and upper elements is cir-
culated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
t
In Proof, the oven uses the upper and lower elements to maintain
a low temperature to proof bread or other yeast doughs.
t
In Warm, the upper and lower elements maintain a low tempera-
ture in the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving tempera-
ture.
